There are no immigration enforcement officials located at the Flood Assistance Center, nor is any information flood survivors provide shared with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Federal courts have consistently held that undocumented presence is not a crime, but a federal civil violation and Austin Police Department policy directs that officers “shall not detain persons solely for determining immigration status.”

The Flood Assistance Center, located at the Dove Springs Recreation Center (5801 Ainez Dr.) will be open until at least Saturday to city and county residents impacted by the flood for flood recovery information and referral. Hours of operation beginning Wednesday, Nov. 11 will be from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m.
